Well as I said yesterday, we had a great holiday. It was nice to getaway together and enjoy a bit warmer weather too! I arrived in Vegas on Wednesday night, that evening we didn't do much - Justin and a few co-workers played some poker so I watched and the waitress brought me free drinks too! Worked for me, but poor lady must have grabbed her 5 year old daughters dress to wear to work. Let's just say I was thankful at least it covered her belly button. But that was about it! I soon realized why that was the guys 'lucky' table! {smile}

We stayed here:

It was so beautiful. Very posh and perfect.

Check out the bath tub! You know I had to have a bath!

Thursday.

We got up early as Justin still had his conference all day. He made me coffee in bed and then he was off to his morning meeting. Then he met me for breakfast and then we went our separate ways.

Me = Target!

Him = Conference..

Me = 1

Justin = 0

I enjoyed my time at Target, wandered without Justin getting antsy which normally always happens when we go there together. Found some good stuff. Stocked up on Fruit Chillers.

The rest of the day I wandered the shops from Mandalay Bay, through to the Luxor and to Excalibur (I didn't want to get lost!), read in the hotel (House Rules is hard to put down!), napped, did 500 ab exercises, 100 squats and 100 lunges, went for lunch with this lovely lady:

Chatted with this lovely lady:

Had a ME day basically. :) But was very happy when 7:30pm rolled around and Justin was ALL done! :)

Friday.

Suckers = Us.

Yup. We agreed to go for a "tour" of a new hotel and in return they'd give us free tickets to the Fantasy Vegas show at the Luxor and $100 for dining. Told us it would take 2 hours max. Sounded like a good plan AT THE TIME! We were there for F.I.V.E hours. AND it was like used car sales men hounding us to buy a time share. Pushy, pushy, pushy.

Well, they wasted 5 hours on these two! And we were not happy.

Grumpy us after five long hours.

But then we found HAPPY HOUR at the House of Blues and this made us happy.

$2 beer and $4 glasses of wine worked their magic on our mood!

As did the awesome guy singing there. He was fantastic. Got to know all the tables, obviously we were "Canada", took requests (played "Boys of Summer" by Don Henley for me!)

And would stop mid song for a $1!

Then we wandered the shops, hung out in the room, went for a delicious meal at the Nobhill Tarern, went for a drink at the Ice Bar then to our Fantasy Vegas show at the Luxor. It was sort of a modern take on the typical Vegas show, with a hilarious comedian added in between the girls performances. WE enjoyed it and it was free for surviving our horrendous morning!!

Saturday.

We went to the Las Vegas Premium Outlet mall.

Shopping, shopping, shopping!

Went for a yummy dinner before Zumanity at the Studio Cafe.

Yuppers, I had ribs.

Zumanity was incredible.

One of the best acts of Zumanity.

Some of the crazy cast.

Us after the show.

My hot man.

His wife.

Sunday.

We went to the other outlet mall (yes lucky me!)

Justin bought me a Coach purse for Christmas - but it's a surprise so don't tell me! But luuuuv it!

Basically killed time so we went to the Mermaid Bar.

Justin watched football, I watched the jelly fish!

It changed colors!!!

Our seats!

Me = Ariel

Justin = Shamu

ha ha ha

And now we are home!

Happy as clams.

Thank you Justin for an amazing trip.

I am one very lucky girl to have such an amazing guy to call MY husband. He spoiled me silly this past weekend and really loves me unconditionally. Not much more I could ask for.

our long awaited babe was worth the wait. she has the sweetest personality, as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside, is the best sister and says the funniest things. she is constantly on the go, prefers to be outside and most likely in a tutu on her bike. she loves playing, snacks and ice cream almost as much as her mom.

this sweet boy completed our family perfectly. he's a chill little man who likes to eat, run around at full speed and get into serious mischief. he has the biggest blue eyes, the best crinkle nosed smile and the most amazing head of hair. he loves balls, hockey sticks and being outside with his sisters.
